Imagine a city where you no longer need to switch off street lights and facades using manual controls. That’s possible through smart city lighting. This innovation began just as smart lighting where LED lighting products were controlled and adjusted to the user’s needs in offices and residential spaces. Today, it has expanded to control an entire city.
In the Philippines, Stealth Ventures Corp. can bring this innovation here through Thorn Lighting’s UrbaSens, an intelligent lighting control. Keep reading to learn more!
What is Thorn’s UrbaSens Lighting Solution?
As a smart city lighting solution, the UrbaSens lighting management system is designed to meet the different challenges met by public outdoor lighting daily. Through this lighting solution, Thorn provides advanced safety and comfort features all done through intelligent functions.
The UrbaSens Central Management System has a variety of features that allow cities remote configuration, management, monitoring, and reporting on all its lighting fixtures. These are all done through a web-based application that can be used on laptops, computers, and even tablets.
A wide range of lights is controlled through UrbaSens in just one device. These include the lights found on facades, pathways, pedestrian crossings, urban & residential streets, parks, plazas, and even roads.
Thorn Lighting’s smart lighting solutions provide added value to its lighting management by incorporating modern data management and open system architecture.
A Complete & Cloud-Based Solution
The UrbaSense lighting management system features a clear dashboard interface. Here, operators can enable outdoor lighting operations whether they are completely operating, monitoring, or even maintaining the lights.
Its interface is user-friendly, allowing easy lighting control to a hundred luminaries scattered across the city. This interface makes switching, dimming, and group manipulation easy.
Since it’s a cloud-based solution, the management system can easily be accessed on the internet. All system, luminaire, driver, and UrbaSense controller data are collected, stored, and analyzed on the cloud-connected server platform.
When data is exchanged through the open RESTful API interface, the connection to the Smart City is enabled as well as to the cloud-based systems.
Finally, UrbaSens is also easily integrated into other systems, if needed. The lighting solution is suited to either retrofit solutions or for meaning different areas in a city. Its program allows operators to increase light in a specific area if heavy traffic is experienced. They can also turn on lights during special events or emergencies.
Cost-Effective Lighting Solution
As stated above, smart city lighting allows an entire city to control all luminaires at once. With its intelligent and dimmable controls, cities may be able to see large reductions in energy costs.
On top of that, there will also be reductions in maintenance costs. UrbaSens’ remote access and transparency allow operators to keep an eye on lights that require maintenance. Here, you’ll be allowed to conduct more efficient maintenance project plans with complete visibility of the city’s lights on one device.
Improves Safety Throughout a City
With an entire city lighted up, feelings of safety loom over its citizens. There will be less worry about walking down dark alleys and roads at night. Using smart lighting solutions like UrbaSens innovates city lights by increasing brightness during rush hour and even applying motion sensors to power up light in dimly lit areas.
Good illumination makes various locations across the city look more attractive to both residents and tourists.
Offers Environmental Protection
Looking at the bigger picture, Thorn Lighting in the Philippines through Stealth Ventures Corp. contributes to urban environmental protection in many ways.
The lights used for the Smart City Lighting are programmed to suit both the user’s and the city’s needs. Through its dimmable control functions, cities can reduce light spills and glare, minimizing carbon dioxide emissions.
In the end, cities can become more sustainable and eco-friendly.
